Relief as East let off the hook

• By Louis Day
A DECISION to let city
councillor David East off the
hook after he made allegations
council staff had tampered with
the District Plan has been met
with relief.
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board deputy chairman Tim
Sintes said he is happy the ordeal
is now over for Cr East.
“I’m very pleased the
allegation against (David) has
been dropped. It has been a
long, drawn-out experience for
everyone, so obviously it’s a step
forward and hopefully we can
start afresh,” he said.
“It’s unfortunate it had to
get to that and I’m glad it’s all
over.”
Mr Sintes, along with Cr
East, Linwood-Central-
Heathcote Community Board
member Darrell Latham and
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board chairwoman Kim Money
alleged city council staff had
omitted a clause which gives
leeway to people in specific
coastal areas, deemed at risk of
flooding, to build and extend
homes.

No Money
for board
as her five
grandkids
take priority
• By Matt Slaughter
FAMILY commitments have led
to Kim Money deciding not to run
again for the Coastal-Burwood
Community Board.
Ms Money said she has
contributed 40-60 hours a week
as chairwoman but now it is
time to concentrate on her five
grandchildren.
“It has been a hard call, but a very
considered decision, and not one
that I have taken lightly. This role
and the responsibilities that come
with it have consumed a huge part
of my life and I have made many
personal sacrifices to do so.”
She said she is at a stage in her
life when her family has to come
first.
“I need to take some time to
re-prioritise a few things. One of
those priorities is to spend more
time with my family. Three years
ago, I had one grandchild, I now
have five.”
In spite of leaving the community
board, she said she will continue to
contribute her expertise to issues
affecting the Coastal and Burwood
wards.

Idea to revitalise mall
• By Matt Slaughter
A COASTAL Ward city council
candidate has an idea he thinks
could revitalise New Brighton
Pedestrian Mall.
But, it could cost ratepayers
$20 million.
Medical supplies salesman
Kelly Barber, who is running
against David East for the
Coastal Ward seat says the city
council should buy a section of
the east side of New Brighton
mall off landowners and
revitalise it themselves.
Business owners in the mall
and the New Brighton Business
and Landowners Association say
the idea sounds good on paper,
but are concerned with the
impact this could have.
Karma Free Cafe owner Elena
Bushnell’s business sits at the
east side of the mall.
She said she would support
Mr Barber’s idea if it meant her
business would stay in the mall,
but would be “angry” it was
forced to move.
“I have no idea if they [the city
council] would keep us or what
they would do with us, I don’t
know.
“We just bought this business
recently so we have quite a bit
of debt to pay . . . so if we will be

the city council to purchase a section of the east end of New
Brighton Mall and revitalise it.
taken out, then definitely we will
be angry.”
New Brighton Business
and Landowners Association
chairwoman Rebbeca Tavete
said the idea was not as simple
as it sounded, but she would
support it if Mr Barber could
find a way to make it happen.
“A collective purchase would
be great if there’s the money
and the investment can be
supported.
“It sounds good doesn’t it, but
how realistic is that approach
and what would that mean in
terms of timing and working
with all the different landlords
to make the purchase possible?”
Said Mr Barber: “I’m talking
about the eastern end of the
mall, so as much as possible of
the eastern end of the mall to
enable somebody to perhaps
build a mall or to have some
kind of like coherent sort of plan
enacted because at the moment I
think the situation is a bit dire.
“Even if it’s to purchase the
land of the people who are
not interested in moving New
Brighton mall forward . . . even
if it took them out of play by
compensating them for the land
and purchasing it off them.”
Mr Barber said he had
researched the idea and said he
believed it would be possible
under the city council’s Greater
Christchurch Regeneration Act
2016.
He estimated it would cost
the city council $20 million to
purchase the amount of land he
was proposing.
Mr Barber said he had doorknocked
about 1000 properties
in the Coastal Ward since his
election campaign began and
about 80 per cent of people
he had spoken to had said the
revitalisation of New Brighton
Mall should be a priority for the
city council.
When asked if they would
support Mr Barber’s proposal,
both the city council and
Development Christchurch Ltd
did not comment before the
Pegasus Post deadline.
In Brief
ROAD DESIGN TO REMAIN
The Papanui-Innes Community
Board has decided not to cut off a
right turn into the KFC on Shirley
Rd to ease traffic congestion.
Pegasus Post reported last month
the board was considering
extending a traffic island just
down from an entrance to prevent
drivers from being able to make
the turn, but it was decided this
would be more dangerous than
keeping it.
WATER AMOUNT REQUESTED
Concerns have been raised about
the amount of water from the new
floating wetland in Shirley that
will be deposited into the Avon
River. City council staff have
been asked to report back to the
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board with this information.
The wetlands are designed to
help reduce the flood risk for
properties upstream in Shirley.
FIND A COLOURED ROCK
Colourful rocks are adding
some fun to the Southshore
estuary edge track. Residents are
collecting rocks, painting them
and hiding them in different spots
along the track for others to find.
Photos of the rocks are sometimes
then posted to the Southshore
8062 Facebook page, thanking
whoever hid them.

Questions raised
over length
of stopbank
• By Matt Slaughter
THE PLANNED length of
a stopbank to be installed in
South New Brighton has been
questioned.
The bund is set to be installed
as part of a project to extend
stopbanks south of Bridge St in
South New Brighton to reduce
the impact of tidal flooding for
more than 500 properties near the
estuary.
Coastal Burwood Community
Board chairwoman Kim Money
said the bund will not extend far
enough to protect a part of South
New Brighton School, which she
and the board believe will be
prone to flooding.
“[City council] staff have said
that this is the best way forward
and that the report that they got
back said that the areas where the
school are didn’t need protecting
given a modelling for a 50-year
flood said that the school wasn’t
in danger.
She said the community board
had asked city council staff to
reconsider this.
The project to protect
properties in South New
Brighton from flooding began
last month.
More support for intersection upgrade
Wheelchair
users’ convince
board to act
• By Matt Slaughter
THE MAIREHAU and
Burwood Rds intersection
needs to be made safer for
wheelchair users sooner, says
the Coastal-Burwood
Community Board.
The board has requested the
city council improve safety
measures at the intersection as
soon as possible, rather than
in 2023 when $1.3 million is
budgeted for the project.
Pegasus Post reported in June
on inexperienced wheelchair
users from Burwood Hospital’s
spinal unit being put in danger
when trying to cross the road to
get to the nearby shops.
A site meeting was held
last month at the intersection
between the community
board, city council staff and
representatives from the New
Zealand Spinal Trust, New
Zealand Transport Agency and
Canterbury District Health
Board.
Community board
chairwoman Kim Money,

intersection.
herself, said the risks wheelchair
users face when crossing the
intersection are clear.
“When this is brought to
your attention . . . you just see
that these members of our
community really need our
help here to prioritise this. If
their first venture out in their
wheelchair onto the street is
in this area to perhaps go over
to the little dairy . . . if there’s
anything that we can do to make
that first venture out a safe one
and take the stress out of it, we
need to do that.”
New Zealand Spinal Trust
chief executive Hans Wouters
said the community board
formalising a request to
complete the intersection safety
improvements sooner is another
good step towards making this
happen.
“The New Zealand Spinal
Trust has been very pleased with
the consultation process and
believe we were well listened to.
Clearly the community board’s
decision is good evidence of that
and we’re pleased again at this
positive progress.”
The spinal trust’s preferred
option to improve safety is for
traffic lights to replace the four
traffic islands and roundabout
currently at the intersection,
which are hard for wheelchair
users to navigate.
Mr Wouters has not heard
back from the city council as to
whether this will happen, but
hopes it would.
The city council could not
say yet if funding for the
intersection improvements will
be made available sooner, when
it will decide if they will happen,
or if traffic lights would be
chosen as the safest option.

HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think the complaint
against David East should have been dropped?
Email your views to matt.slaughter@starmedia.kiwi
Complaint against
East dropped
•From page 1
The three community board
members were cleared of their
code of conduct complaints last
month. Cr East was not and
remained in negotiations with
the city council until last Tuesday
when he felt they had reached a
stalemate.
Cr East withdrew from the
code of conduct complaints
which arose from his outspoken
comments and the city council
decided not to pursue the matter
further following an almost yearlong
battle.
Cr East apologised for his
claims in a city council meeting in
November after it was discovered
the clause had never existed.
However, the city council
wanted him to make a personal
apology to the staff who he
claimed had tampered with
the District Plan. Cr East said
he considered it but in the end
decided against it.
A council spokeswoman said
East had agreed to apologise in
person to staff but withdrew from
the process. City council general
manager of corporate services
Leonie Rae was disappointed by
Cr East’s withdrawal.
“I really felt that we had almost
got there. Cr East was to make a
personal apology to staff for the
allegations he made against them.
“Given that the complaint
cannot be resolved by agreement,
I have discussed the matter with
the mayor (Lianne Dalziel) and
we have accepted there is no point
continuing to take the complaint
any further.”
Cr East felt the situation could
have been handled better by Ms
Dalziel and former city council
chief executive Karleen Edwards,
considering he had already made
an apology. “The previous chief
executive was very determined in
the protection of her staff and was
unrelenting in wanting another
and fuller apology, the mayor has
followed her lead but has not been
as dogmatic as the previous chief
executive,” he said.
The allegations made by
Cr East and the community
board members led to Greater
Christchurch Regeneration
Minister Megan Woods approving
the city council’s proposal to
amend the District Plan. But
an audit commissioned by the
city council by Environment
Canterbury councillor Peter
Skelton found there was never a
missing clause.

Money puts family first
•From page 1
Said Ms Money: “I will
always be passionate about our
community and I will continue
to invest in it and assist where
possible. What this looks like, I
am not quite sure yet, but I will
take some time to consider my
next steps.
“I would also like to pursue
specific community projects that
I am involved in but I haven’t
had the time to do so during this
period.”
She said one of these projects
is trying to get a wheelchair
and pram walkway connecting
Waimairi Beach, North Beach,
New Brighton, Bottle Lake Forest
Park and Southshore.
Ms Money said she has enjoyed
her time on the board and felt
both wards had developed
in her time at the helm. She
said her achievements include
strengthening the relationship
between the board, various
community groups and city
council staff.
“I have given my all to
serving the community, and it
has been an absolute privilege
working with and supporting
the hundreds of passionate
volunteers, community workers,
entities and other elected
members who dedicate their
time and energy to make the

Coastal-Burwood Ward what it
is today.”
Her biggest disappointment
was what little has been done
to protect Southshore and
South New Brighton residents’
properties from the impact of
rising sea-levels, coastal erosion
and flooding, she said.
“That community should be
allowed to be able to get on with
their lives and be given hope . . .
and it’s just not happening.”
Said Ms Money: “There is still
plenty of work to be done before
the elections.”
Ms Money said she
hopes whoever takes her
place after October’s local
body elections will continue to
fight for the Coastal-Burwood
Ward.
“Whoever puts their hand
up should know the issues
and what is concerning residents
and just continue that good
work in keeping the council
accountable.”

Shirley Rd bus stop plan
given nod of approval
• By Matt Slaughter
THE PLAN to upgrade a Shirley
Rd bus stop has been approved.
The Papanui-Innes
Community Board greenlighted
the plan, which will
involve the extension of the
existing bus stop outside Shirley
Intermediate School and the
construction of a new bus
shelter beside it to make room
for two buses at a time.
Innes Ward city councillor
Pauline Cotter said she hopes
the upgrades will be completed
by December.
Pegasus Post reported last
month the board delayed
approving the plan and asked if
more space could be created to
move the bus stop and shelter
back to make the facilities
accessible for wheelchair users
and people with mobility issues.
Board members originally
asked if a Ministry of
Education-owned berm space
outside the school could be
used to create the extra room.
But Cr Cotter said this was no
longer necessary as an extra
50cm of space would be
created using city councilowned
land.
Cr Cotter said the board has
taken about five months to come
up with a plan which satisfied it.
She is pleased it has now been
finalised and said the wait has
been worth it to ensure the
extended bus stop and new
shelter will cater for all bus
users.
“I think that it’s going to
look really good for Shirley to
have that, you know, improved,
more comfortable, more fit-forpurpose
shelter and bus stop
. . . there’s some seating and then
there’s room also for wheelchairs
or pushchairs,” she said.
“We want to really encourage
people to use these buses and
one of the ways to do that
is for council to step up and
address our infrastructure

said the new stop will help
achieve the goal of ECan’s

“The Palms is a key suburban

main stop at The Palms for the

Petition for community centre
• By Matt Slaughter
EFFORTS TO get a new
community centre built at 10
Shirley Rd have been renewed.
A petition was launched last
Monday asking the city council
for this to happen as soon as
possible and it has received 80
signatures.
Richmond residents Jennifer
Dalziel and Joanna Gould
banded together with other
concerned residents to start the
petition.
Ms Dalziel believed the
city council was taking too
long to decide if some form of
community centre was going to
be built at the site to replace the
old one, which was demolished
after the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
“Nothing’s ever happened and
there are constant kind of calls
for something to happen,” she
said.
The petition was part of a revitalised
effort to remind the city
council that Shirley residents’
were impatient and frustrated
waiting for development to happen
in the area.
“We’re just watching everybody
else get all of these things
and we’re not getting anything,
she said.”
However, city council head
of community support, governance
and partnerships John Filsell
ACTION WANTED: A petition has been started to renew calls
to build a new community centre at 10 Shirley Rd.
said: “The council has
commissioned a feasibility
study for a community facility
on 10 Shirley Rd. This will be
considered by the Waipapa/
Papanui-Innes Community
Board, a date for this is currently
being agreed. The next step
depends on the outcome of the
board consideration.’’
Mrs Gould said the petition
outlined that some form of
community centre would be
better than nothing, but she ideally
wanted to see a new library
built at the 10 Shirley Rd site,
which would include space for a
community centre and replace
Shirley Library.
“Community centres are
closed groups and it’s an old
kind of model, whereas libraries
and learning spaces are the new
model for community centres
and because they’re more inclusive
they capture a wider range
of people.”
Said Mr Filsell: “The feasibility
study has not considered a
library development on 10
Shirley Rd within its agreed
scope.”
Water strategy
feedback
delivered to council
• By Matt Slaughter
THE COASTAL-Burwood
Community Board has submitted
its response to the city council’s
draft integrated water strategy.
The strategy sets guidelines
and goals for the city council’s
management of drinking water,
wastewater and stormwater, as
well as surface water, groundwater
and flood management.
Board member Linda
Stewart said she feels
the draft is confusing
and ambiguous, not
providing enough
specific examples of how
water-related threats
affecting the Coastal-
Burwood Ward will be
addressed.
Ms Stewart said these
threats include potential
sea level rise and flooding.
She said for the Coastal-
Burwood Ward, the strategy:
“Doesn’t acknowledge earthquake-related
damage. And so,
that’s one of the biggest issues we
have in both wards.”
The board agreed in its submission,
words like “place-making”
Linda Stewart
and “touchstone” used in the
strategy are confusing for the
community and should be simplified.
“When they do council speak,
we actually wonder what the
heck they’re talking about,” said
Ms Stewart.”
But not everyone on the board
was critical of the draft. Said
member Tim Baker: “I have
faith in the [city council] staff,
a genuine faith in them that
they know what they’re
doing.”
Said city council head
of three waters and
waste Helen Beaumont:
“[A] hearings panel met
yesterday [last Monday]
and will meet again later
this week [last week] to
consider all submissions

Avonside teen races on Olympic waterway
SPORT
TALENTED: Avonside Girls’ High School rower Sally Wylaars (front) helped her women’s four to
fifth at the junior world championships in Japan.
PHOTO: ROWING NZ
• By Jacob Page
AVONSIDE GIRLS’ High
rower Sally Wylaars has helped
her New Zealand coxless four
to fifth at the junior world
championships in Tokyo.
The 17-year-old,
who was in the stroke
seat, rowed with Lucy
Burrell, Alison Mills
and Charlotte Darry at
her first international
regatta.
The combination
finished second in their
heat, maintaining that
place throughout the
race and finishing in
6min 46.090sec – 3sec
behind the Italian crew but still
good enough to automatically
make the final.
In the final, the crew made a
strong start and were in second
position at the first 500m mark.
But they were unable to keep up
Sally Wylaars
with China, Italy and Germany,
which took gold, silver and
bronze respectively. Darry, Mills,
Burrell and Wylaars finished the
final in 7min 14.50sec.
Wylaars was recently
named achiever of the year
at the Canterbury
Rowing Awards for her
progression in the sport.
She has been rowing
for four seasons and
won a silver medal at the
under-18 double sculls
with her Avonside Girls’
High teammate Maddy
Thornton earlier this
year.
The course for
the junior world
championships, known as the
Sea Forest Waterway, is a newlyconstructed
venue for the 2020
Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Fifty nations took part in the
junior championships and more
than 550 athletes competed.
Run New Brighton hits
the streets to deliver
health and well-being
A NEW running group is
encouraging residents to get
active.
Run New Brighton is a notfor-profit
initiative set up by the
New Brighton Olympic Athletics
Club to get more people running
in the area.
The members meet every
Wednesday at 5.30pm at
the New Brighton Olympic
Clubrooms.
There are pace-specific groups,
which cater for beginner,
intermediate and competitive
runners.
Run New Brighton organiser
Hayden Zervos said the group
allows runners and people of
different ages and backgrounds
to improve their fitness.
He said the group helps
improve the well-being of people
in the area.
“Eastern Christchurch has
reportedly not psychologically
recovered to pre-earthquake
levels,” he said.
“Recreational groups can
play a role in the psychological
recovery of communities in
eastern Christchurch, which
could reduce pressure on local
mental health support services
and potentially reduce smoking
rates and alcohol consumption,
which are often driven by stress
factors.
“Running individually, and
more so with a group of people,
has been proven to deliver
physical and mental health
benefits.
“It can help to address anxiety,
depression, loneliness and raise
self-esteem and confidence.
“I have personally been
running for over eight years
and I credit it with making me a
better person not just physically
but also socially.”
FUN RUN: James Zervos, Hayden Zervos, Nicola Smith,
Phillippa Coppe, Angela Boyson and Richard Young are part
of Run New Brighton.

Tasty Bites
Getting protein through a science-based diet
The role of protein in
people’s bodies, its
sources and the benefits of
consuming it across the day
can’t be underestimated.
These recipes provide a
science-based approach to
ensuring you get enough in
your diet
Orange kumara and
haloumi fritters
Serves 4
Ingredients
1.2kg orange kumara, peeled and
coarsely grated
320g haloumi, coarsely grated
2 tsp ground cumin
Light olive oil spray for cooking
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 spring onions, white part thinly
sliced into rounds, green part
thinly sliced diagonally
120g baby spinach leaves
Avocado dressing:
80g medium-sized avocado
⅓ cup (80ml) white wine vinegar
or apple cider vinegar
½ tsp dijon mustard
Directions
To make the avocado dressing,
blend all the ingredients in a jug
with a hand-held blender until
smooth. Season with black pepper
and set aside.
Heat a large non-stick frying
pan over low-medium heat.
Combine the kumara, haloumi
and cumin in a bowl and season
with freshly ground black pepper.
Lightly spray the pan with
olive oil and drop in firmly
packed cup measures of the
kumara mixture, pressing down
to form 8cm circles. Depending
on the size of your pan, you will
probably need to do this in two
batches of four.
Cook for 5min each side
or until golden and cooked
through. Remove and cover to
keep warm. Lightly spray the pan
with a little more oil and increase
the heat to high.
Add the garlic, white part
of the spring onion, spinach
and 60ml water. Cook, tossing
constantly, for 2min or until the
spinach has just wilted. Remove
the pan from the heat and season
with black pepper.
Serve two kumara fritters per
person, layered with the spinach
mixture. Spoon over the dressing
and sprinkle with the green
spring onion.
Roast herb chicken and
vegetables
Serves 4 with leftovers
Ingredients
½ cup finely chopped flat-leaf
parsley
2 Tbsp finely chopped rosemary
1 Tbsp mixed dried herbs
6 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ cup (60ml) olive oil
¼ cup (60ml) red wine vinegar
1.8kg lean chicken tenderloins
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
7 carrots, sliced into rounds
7 zucchini, thickly sliced into
rounds
750g button mushrooms
Light olive oil spray for cooking
1 cup (250ml) salt-reduced
chicken stock
Lemon wedges and flat-leaf parsley
leaves, to serve
Ingredients
Heat the oven to 200 deg C (or
180 deg C fan-forced).
Combine the parsley, rosemary,
dried herbs, garlic, olive
oil, vinegar and chicken in a
large bowl. Season generously
with freshly ground black pepper
and toss well to coat the chicken.
Divide the vegetables among
two large roasting tins and
lightly spray with olive oil. Toss
to combine, then top evenly with
the chicken mixture.
Pour half the stock over the
ingredients in each tin. Bake,
swapping the tins halfway
through and tossing the chicken
and vegetables, for 25-30min
or until the chicken is cooked
through and the vegetables are
soft.
Divide one-third of the chicken
and vegetables among four for
dinner, with lemon wedges and
parsley. Cool the leftovers, then
divide evenly between two large
airtight containers.
Store the leftovers in the fridge
for up to two days or in the
freezer for three months. Thaw
the frozen mixture in the fridge
overnight. Transfer the chilled
mixture to a baking dish and
reheat in a preheated 220 deg C
(200 deg C fan-forced) oven for
15-20min or until hot and crisp.

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Superior new magnesium
offers more health benefits!
Magnesium deficiency is widespread with
researchers estimating up to 90% are not
receiving adequate magnesium in their diet.
According to medical researcher Dr. James
DiNicolantonio magnesium deficiency
increases the risk of numerous types of
cardiovascular and other diseases, costing
nations around the world an incalculable
amount of healthcare costs and suffering, and
should be considered a public health crisis.
Some of the typical signs of a magnesium
deficiency are: muscle cramps – especially
in the legs, muscle spasms and twitches,
fatigue, high blood pressure, poor
circulation, sore – heavy or uncomfortable
legs, irregular heart-beat, muscle and back
pain, insomnia, headaches, migraines and
anxiety. Sub-optimal magnesium levels are
also associated with many diseases including
diabetes, asthma, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s,
cardiovascular, ADHD and kidney.
There are many popular magnesium
supplements on the market, however most
use low cost sources of magnesium that are
also poorly absorbed offering little benefit.
Seeing the serious impact on health that
low magnesium levels are having a New
Zealand company “Biosphere Nutrition”
have developed a new magnesium that offers
superior absorption and more health benefits
compared to most other products available.
Biosphere Magnesium has been created to
be the cleanest, most bioavailable magnesium
supplement available. It combines three
types of the most bioavailable forms of
magnesium to create the ideal dose with
optimal absorption. Each serving provides
a therapeutic dose of 400mg elemental
magnesium to help people maintain
optimum magnesium levels. It is also easy
to take as it comes as a great tasting, easy to
mix powder that is also free of binders, fillers
and artificial ingredients. It is flavoured with
a natural lemon flavour and sweetened with
natural stevia and monk fruit extracts and
coloured with a dash of turmeric.
Magnesium Citrate is the first of the three
magnesium’s. Biosphere have used a natural
marine based magnesium citrate as it has a
great absorption rate and mixes well with
water.
Next is Magnesium Lyscinate Glycinate
Chelate a stable magnesium designed to be
the most bioavailable possible as well as easy
on the stomach.
The last is Di Magnesium Malate a
fantastic form of magnesium for people
suffering from fatigue, since malic acid is
a vital component of enzymes that play
a key role in ATP synthesis and energy
production.
Optimal magnesium levels have been
shown to: Improve Energy, Improve
Sleep, Normalise Blood Pressure, Control
Inflammation, Reduce Pain, Regulate Blood
Sugar, Stop Cramping, Support Normal
Nerve and Muscle Function, Support Healthy
Bones and Help Maintain Good Health.
Biosphere Magnesium and further more
detailed information is available from
the Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s
Health & Natural Therapy, 101 Seaview
Road, New Brighton, and Phone: 388-5757.
We are always happy to help you!

HOME & HEATING
Get rid of
dampness in
your house
The facts about
Home Ventilation
Balanced Pressure
vs Positive Pressure
Now with the colder and wetter weather
on its way, home owners are focusing on
ways to make their homes comfortable,
warm and healthy for their families
throughout winter. Rising damp is an issue
that affects many of our older properties
which suffer from poor, or no, insulation.
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many
people have relocated to homes that suffer
from rising damp which can be associated
with health problems. Independent tests
have shown that up to 40 litres of water
can rise from the ground and enter a
house every day, leading to mildew, mould,
condensation and musty smells. Moulds
can produce various allergic reactions
and the frail, elderly and very young are
especially vulnerable.
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a
locally owned and operated firm. The
team understands the problems caused
by rising damp and are there to help.
They will come to your damp home
and pump a lightweight, flowable foam
concrete under your timber floored home.
Specially adapted for our New Zealand
conditions and applications it provides a
layer of protection against rising moisture.
An unexpected benefit that the team at
Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed
recently, is that many owners of properties
which had underfloor foam concrete
installed, reported that it also provided
protection against liquefaction after
the earthquakes.
Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete
Ltd now for your free, no obligation
quote and complimentary appraisal of
your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone
03 376 4608 or 0508FOAMCO for more
information.
Under the New Zealand Building Code,
all buildings, including residential, need
to be suitably ventilated, either with
opening windows or forced ventilation.
Clause G4.1 states: “The objective of this
provision is to safeguard people from
illness or loss of amenity due to lack of
fresh air.” There are many benefits to forced,
or mechanical, ventilation over opening
windows, including warmth, security,
reduction of outside noises and reduction
of condensation.
Traditional domestic ventilation systems
are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in
from outside via the roof space and force
the stale air out through gaps around
windows and doors. The incoming air
from these systems has to be heated or
cooled to keep the house warm in winter or
cool in summer.
The Smooth-Air HEX390 is a ‘balanced
pressure’ system. It extracts air from the
house and at the same time brings in fresh
air. These two streams of air pass through
a heat exchanger, which warms incoming
air in winter and cools in summer if air
conditioning is being used. This means that
up to 80% of the energy which would be
wasted using a traditional positive pressure
system is recovered, resulting in significant
energy savings and therefore lower heating
or cooling costs.
Until recently, balanced pressure
ventilation systems have been considerably
more expensive than traditional
positive pressure systems. However,
with Smooth-Air’s unique
manufacturing capabilities, a
HEX390 balanced pressure system
can be installed for a similar price as
a traditional positive pressure system.
